(20.32 x 12.07 x 12.07 cm), Qingbai ware Porcelain with molded décor under a pale blue glaze, China, 10th-13th century, The varied and inventive methods of decoration found in qing bai wares of Song and Yuan (11th-14th century) testify to the ingenuity of the potters.

Mold decoration was more quickly executed than hand carved décor and it greatly facilitated the mass manufacture of qing bai ware.Visor for a Bascinet. Culture: Italian. Dimensions: H. 6 in.
